Details

Die coatings are beginning to be used extensively in the die casting industry. Their applications to core pins, die inserts and dies have extended life. Die Coatings for Die Casting Dies reviews the structure and properties of the most popular coatings. The book focuses on the important aspects of die coatings in the die casting industry. It addresses the important coating types and their major properties. The book guides die casters in the characterization and evaluation of coatings and even reviews the removal/repair of die coatings.



Chapter topics include deposition processes, coating properties and applications, characterization and evaluation of coatings, coatings for die casting dies, current state-of-the-art science and removal and repair of die coatings. This publication discusses the many applications of thin film coatings being used to provide some desired property in a material.



If you are thinking about trying a coating and are not sure what to try first, this book will help. If you already use a coating(s), this book will help you determine ways to evaluate its performance. Written by a coatings expert from the Colorado School of Mines, this publication also includes his latest research on multiple layered coatings.



For applications requiring a high level of Material Quality and Heat Treatment Quality, a variety of commercially available Special Quality die steels are listed in this specification, designated as Grades B through E, Class 1 or 2, and should meet the appropriate specification requirements of NADCA #207-2011.

For applications requiring a lesser level of Material Quality and/or Heat Treatment Quality, Premium H13 die steel is available and should meet the specification requirements of NADCA #207-2011 as Grade A or Grade F, Class 1 or 2.
